Mapping top of rock and sediment thickness case study

A port expansion was planned off the coast of San Felipe, Panama. GeoView was tasked to provide bathymetric information within the survey area, map the top of rock and evaluate the thickness of the overlying marine sediments. The survey area was approximately 300 hectares in size. GeoView collected sub-bottom profiling and bathymetry data along transect lines spaced approximately 25 meters on center. The sub-bottom data was collected using an Edgetech 3200 system with a 216 towfish for the sub bottom portion. The Edgetech system is a full Spectrum CHIRP imaging system. A frequency range of 2-16 kHz was used.

In May 2014 and May 2015, AGI conducted a hydrogeology workshop focused on training students how to use a resistivity meter for groundwater exploration at Lake Travis near Austin, Texas.
Why groundwater exploration?
This workshop’s purpose was important: As water—especially groundwater—becomes more and more scarce (and thus, valuable) knowing exactly where and how to find it will become more crucial. By training students how to use our resistivity meter for groundwater exploration, we’re...

Result:The area of iland about 1 square kilometers,Segmented wiring,The total length of the Surveying and mapping is abuout 28 km,takes 2hours.auto mapping bathymetric map and so on

Hearing the name ‘Jon Snow’ may bring Kit Harington’s face to the forefront of many people’s mind as an important character in ‘Game of Thrones’ but, for water treatment and public health professionals, there is another iconic ‘John Snow’ that may come to mind.
Dr. John Snow, an English physician born in 1813, contributed greatly to our understanding of anesthesia, epidemiology, public health, and – through the simple act of data mapping – changed the...

Shimabara City in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, is located on a volcanic peninsula that has abundant groundwater. Almost all public water supplies use groundwater in this region. For this reason, understanding groundwater characteristics is a pre-requisite for proper water supply management. Thus, we investigated the groundwater chemistry characteristics in Shimabara by use of self-organizing maps (SOMs). The input to SOM was concentrations of eight major groundwater chemical components, namely Cl−, NO3−, SO42–,...

The quality of water bodies is a key determinant in the usability of the resource for the purpose required. It is therefore of great importance to managers of hydrologic resources to be able to confidently tell the status of their water resource. One of the major problems in the quality of surface water bodies is the blooming of algae and blue green algae. Algal blooms can result in ecological, social and economic depreciation of lakes and reservoirs and other surface water bodies with a possible adverse effects...
